Chip Robotics BLDC ROS Driver
To get started make sure you have ros serial installed
e.g. for melodic
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-serial
create a directory to install the driver and cd into the director
mkdir src
cd src
catkin_init_workspace
git clone https://github.com/chiprobotics/chip_bldc_driver.git
cd ..
catkin_make
source ./devel/setup.bash
roslaunch chip_bldc_driver example.launch
make sure you have the right permission set on /dev/ttyUSB0 (for a quick hack just use sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0)
instruction on using udev will be coming soon.
For a quick test open a new terminal
cd into the folder and run source ./devel/setup.bash
then run rostopic pub -r 10 /bldc_driver_node/Command chip_bldc_driver/Command "motor_command: 100" to see the motor spin.
It is recommended you first setup the motor with the windows or linux software before running ROS to control the motor.
